Wedding planner Riley Jordan should be over the moon about the high-profile job that just landed in her lap. The pay is amazing, and the event will be a stellar addition to her resumé. There's just one problem: The groom is the man who broke her heart. Plus, she's already got enough on her plate dealing with a nephew whose world has just been turned upside down.

Psychology professor and relationship guru Alex Barrett needs a reset. His life has imploded, and a standing invitation to visit his uncle in Hope Harbor seems like the perfect escape. Where better than a small beach town to regroup and get his life back on track?

But when his path crosses with Riley's, unexpected attraction sparks. Though she doesn't seem any more interested in romance than he is, she does need help with her nephew, and Alex has time to spare. But can two hearts determined to avoid love find the courage to try again?

Return to the small beach town of Hope Harbor with award-winning and bestselling author Irene Hannon for a sweet romance of second chances.
